Therapeutic Management Of A Patient With Necrotizing Fasciitis Resulting In Quadrilateral Amputation And Critical Illness Myopathy In The Intensive Care Setting: A Case Report., Mallory A. Kargela, Annette J. Siebens

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: The purpose of this case is to illustrate the best available evidence to provide early therapeutic intervention for a critically ill patient presenting with cardiovascular and pulmonary complications due to multi-system compromise. Case Description: A 19-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis and necrotizing pneumonia. He experienced numerous additional medical complications ultimately leading to tracheostomy, delirium, critical illness myopathy, and quadrilateral amputation secondary to necrotizing fasciitis and critical limb ischemia following prolonged veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Outcomes: Patient was discharged to an outside rehabilitation hospital after 103 days in the acute setting …

Perspectives Of Individuals With Acquired Neurogenic Communication Disorders And Co-Survivors On Person-Centered Care Within Speech-Language Therapy, Logan Macrae Ellis

Online Theses and Dissertations

Main Argument: Acquired brain injury impacts 2.8 million individuals each year in the United States (Taylor et al., 2017). Stroke, traumatic brain injury, tumor, infection, and other conditions cause life-altering changes to the way humans interact with each other. Social interaction and communication are important in many aspects of life, including but not limited to work, community, relationships, and mental health, etc. Damage to the brain often changes the ability to communicate drastically, which can impact all of the aforementioned aspects of life (Ardila & Rubilo, 2018). Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) address the acquired neurogenic communication disorders associated with brain injury …

The Therapeutic Value Of Art, Alexandra Eagle

MA Theses

Throughout history art has been regarded as an avenue for expression, healing, and a creative outlet for humanity.

A Comparison Of Outcomes Of A Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program As An Alternative To Traditional Outpatient Phase Ii Cardiac Rehabilitation, Colton M.R. Crismore Jan 2021

A Comparison Of Outcomes Of A Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program As An Alternative To Traditional Outpatient Phase Ii Cardiac Rehabilitation, Colton M.R. Crismore

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Phase II outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an intervention offered to patients that have been diagnosed with heart disease, undergone various procedures such as stenting or valve replacement, or to those with claudication diseases. Home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) is an alternative approach to traditional outpatient phase II CR, that is an emergent area of study with preliminary evidence showing in some outcomes that it approximates traditional CR. As there is current interest in the study of HBCR, this paper examines outcomes of mortality, risk factor modification, exercise capacity, and cardiac function to determine the extent to which this intervention may …

Occupational Therapy Students’ Test/Re-Test Reliability Of The Readiness For Interprofessional Education Learning Scale And Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale, Leah Shea Simpkins, Aaron D. Sciascia, Casey E. Humphrey Jan 2021

Occupational Therapy Students’ Test/Re-Test Reliability Of The Readiness For Interprofessional Education Learning Scale And Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale, Leah Shea Simpkins, Aaron D. Sciascia, Casey E. Humphrey

Journal of Occupational Therapy Education

The purpose of this study was to establish the test/re-test reliability of two interprofessional education (IPE) instruments, the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) among occupational therapy (OT) graduate students. The intent was to compare results based on previous IPE experience and year in the program. The RIPLS and IEPS were distributed to 111 OT students at one university. Both instruments were distributed a second time 10-14 days later. Cronbach’s alpha, weighted Kappas, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change were calculated for each instrument. Assessments occurred for …
